The passing of Halloween has left us with a few interesting horror films in the catalogs of all platforms, but the next thing is coming, which is inevitably Christmas. Many of you will already be noticing how the romances of divorced women in sweaters are flooding streaming, but let’s try to abstract ourselves from that tempting little candy with a brief review of other attractive news for the month of November. That there is everything.
Frankenstein
Guillermo del Toro he has finally made his dream come true to adapt Mary Shelley’s canonical science fiction novel, while being both very faithful and very personal and in line with her usual obsessions. A monster different from the one we are used to in cinema, a mad scientist more deranged than usual and sumptuous settings and special effects that are the best of the show. That and the extraordinary incarnations of Jacob Elordi, Oscar Isaac and Mia Goth, of course.

The Paper
When we first heard about the idea, we raised an eyebrow: was there really a need to invoke the spirit of ‘The Office’ in an entirely new series? But when the first reviews arrived, apparently everything was going well: without being ‘The Office’ (remember that in its first seasons ‘The Office’ was not ‘The Office’ either), Greg Daniels, creator of the original series, seems to have correctly invoked the spirit of the classic: the team that made the mockumentary of that series focuses this time on a historic paper newspaper and its editor, who tries to keep it afloat.

Bat-Fam
Did you like the Christmas special movie?Merry Mini Bat Christmas‘? Average: the best thing to come out of DC in years, if you ask us. Now, their characters return with a look at the intimacy of the Wayne family, especially the heir to the Mantle, young Damian Wayne, but with a lot of new characters and old acquaintances, all passed through a delicious visual filter. Our favorite is clearly Man-Bat, so you’ll have to choose another one.

All of the law
None other than Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts and Glenn Close share the cast with… Kim Kardashian. Only the prolific Ryan Murphy could give rise to such a concoction, with a series of legal intrigue that distances itself (partially, because its usual casting returns, Kardasian included) from the grotesque horrors of ‘American Horror Story’ and company. A kind of ‘Suits’ in a feminine key where a group of lawyers specialized in divorces leave a firm dominated by men to open their own office.

The Fantastic Four: Firsts Steps
Although it was not the revolution that many expected (and that Marvel needs), the new Fantastic Four movie has reinitiated the presence of these iconic heroes on screen with a fresher approach and more faithful to the essence of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s comic. Adventure, science fiction and light family drama combine in a film that benefits from dispensing with close ties to the rest of the world. MCUalthough it cannot escape the style, tone, humor and, above all, the closed structure without much oxygen of the rest of the house’s films. Still, great finds like the new introduction of Galactus and his herald Silver Surfer, as well as a very appropriate leading quartet.

Jakarta
Two proper names usually linked to comedy, Diego San José (‘Come Juan’, ‘Eight Basque surnames’, ‘Vaya semanita’) and Javier Cámaraenter this time into dramatic territory with a series about disenchantment and second chances: a former Olympic badminton player finds himself becoming a physical education teacher, and finds in a problematic but talented girl the possibility of achieving a lost dream. It is about competing in Jakarta, where this sport has prestige and can rediscover some of the glory of the past, in a sporting drama without an epic of winners.

Pluribus
A highly anticipated premiere, since it marks Vince Gilligan’s abandonment of the ‘Breaking Bad’ universe, which he also explored in ‘Better Call Saul’, with the magnificent means that Apple always provides. Here it enters science fiction with a dystopia in which happiness is spread like a pandemic, generating a uniform society devoid of conflict. Its protagonist is the only person who remains immune to this “infection” of euphoria, which burdens him with the responsibility of discovering the origin of this phenomenon. We return to Albuquerque, to the irony and thriller elements for a reflection on current topics such as social control or the pressure to obtain superficial well-being.

The one that is coming S16
Season 16 of ‘The One That Comes’ marks an important change in the long-running Spanish comedy series: eight episodes of reduced duration, between 35 and 50 minutes, in contrast to the previous episodes that were around 80 minutes. This adaptation responds to new television consumption habits and seeks to streamline the plot to achieve a more dynamic comedy. The 200th episode will be a special that will also be shown in theaters, a nostalgic tribute with a touch of absurd western that will reflect the long history of the series. Of course, with the definitive absence of Fernando Tejero.
